The Grand Temptation (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 88
Yuli asked back with an utterly exasperated look on her face.
“You’re asking me to spy right now?”
“Let’s not call it spying. Think of it as helping me.”
Executive Director Kwon brought his whiskey glass to his lips and grinned shamelessly.
“The ledger currently in the safe—it was originally mine. But Jae Ho stole it through illicit means.”
“Then tell Jae Ho yourself. Don’t ask me to steal it back for you.”
“Yuli, it seems you’re seriously mistaken. You’re in no position to tell me what to do or not to do.”
At that, Yuli skimmed through the paternity report once more before turning her gaze back to Executive Director Kwon.
“No. It’s not me who’s mistaken—it’s you, Executive Director. First, conducting a paternity test without the subject’s consent is illegal. Second, results from an illegally performed test can’t possibly be reliable. And third, even if by some remote chance this report were true, it was my father—not me—who committed adultery. So why are you threatening me?”
At the word “threat,” Executive Director Kwon’s face twisted into a menacing scowl.
*Hah, what an insolent girl—just listen to how she talks!*
Yet Yuli wasn’t entirely wrong. Initially, Executive Director Kwon had indeed planned to blackmail Assemblyman Chae using this evidence of infidelity, hoping to persuade Chairman Kwon to allow Min Woo to return to Korea.
But Min Woo had already crossed a river he could never go back across. His son, now a murderer, couldn’t even set foot near Korea, let alone return home—he’d be forced to wander overseas for the rest of his life.
Blood may be thicker than water, but Executive Director Kwon wasn’t generous enough to embrace a son as reckless as that.
After all, the child was merely a product of a loveless marriage; discarding him now wouldn’t leave much regret. And while he was at it, he might as well end his tiresome marriage to his wife once and for all.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
